 ### Adding dependencies

Our strong preference is to not take any external dependencies for the library outside of the official software development kit (SDK) for the cloud provider.

 ### Exceptions
 
-Different backends may raise different exception classses when something goes wrong. To make it easy for users to catch exceptions that are agnostic of the backend, we generally will catch and raise a specific exception from [`exceptions.py`](cloudpathlib/exceptions.py) for any exception that we understand. You can add new exceptions to this file if any are needed for new features.
